[Yum] well this is weird

[Silviu Cojocaru]

well here is what yum coughs when trying to update something:

[root at localhost root]# yum update openssl

package openssl-devel needs openssl = 0.9.6b-32.7 (not provided)
package openssl-perl needs openssl = 0.9.6b-32.7 (not provided)

If someone could shed some light here I would be grateful.
I'm using yum 1.0.3.
